THE Denver News says:
The line of the Union Pacific Railroad from Omaha is now running to a point 18 miles west
of Loup Fork, and the track is being laid at the average rate of a mile and a quarter per day.
The grading is done to to a point seven miles above Fort Kearny. The company have sufficient
iron and ties on hand to complete the road to that point, and by the middle of September at
furthest, trains will be running that far out. In one year from that time they promise to have the
road completed to Julesburg. With S. B. Reed as General Superintendent, and Gen. [Grenville]
Dodge as Chief Engineer, there is no danger that the work will be allowed to flag.
DISTRICT COURT, Tuesday, July 17th. Thomas Mackey, a native of Ireland admitted to
citizenship.
The Territorial Enterprise says they have “struck ile” in Meadow Lake District. A bottle of crude
petroleum was taken to Virginia City for analysis. The fluid oozes from the crevices in the rocks.
NEWSPAPER CHANGE.—Wm. H. Miller, former editor of the Union has retired from the
newspaper business. The new editor or proprietors of the journal are not announced. We congratulate our
friend, Miller, for, verily, the way of the editor is hard.
MUDDY WATER.—The fire plugs will be opened this evening and the water will be muddy for a
time. Housekeepers who want clear water had better draw it before 6 o’clock.
THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1866
